The P-51 has a 17hp improvement at 5300rpms or so on a completley stock GT! Someone on this forums had spoken to a rep from Trickflow on that specific intake and posted the numbers! It did have 11hp gains, but that was at 6500rpms something a stock motor would never see and also it had a 3hp drop in the range from 2200-2600rpms and was pretty flat up untill 4300rpms until is slowly picked up. Right around 5300rpms is when the rpms picked up to maybe 5hp if I remember correctly! Just get the P-51, there has been nothing even remotely comparable to it and you can still retain your factory hood on 99+ cars

I am gonna wait to see.. I am sure a couple shops will do dyno testing on both N/A and FI cars. If its anything like the bullitt intake, its not gonna do much on anything but FI cars.
Reagardless of the outcome, NONE of the aftermarket intakes do anything signfiicant on a n/a car that doesn't have a built motor.

You do NOT see gains like that on a stock car. There simply is not enough there to take advantage of whatever extra flow there is.
Plain and simple, the intake is simply not the major restriction in the top end package..the heads and cams are.
Find one acutal person that has done the P51 swap on anything but a built motor car and has those results... not gonna happen.
Everyone I have talked to that has done the swap or saw results from someone that did had lackluster results. Hell, I dont think I have heard of anyone doing the P51 on a built motor picking up 17 WHP.....

The only place I have seen claim a 17WHP increase on the P51 is from fox lake... and its not true.

Like I said, everyone that I have talked to about the intake has said it will do virtually nothing for a close to stock car and that it completely sucks on FI cars.
There have been a few people with mild bolton only combos on a few different sites talking about it.. and the results were not good.
The hard truth is that the stock intake is pretty good for the RPM and power range a stock 4.6L is capable of. The only real bad part about it is the plastic construction
